About Althorpe and Keadby Primary School

Althorpe and Keadby Primary School sits slightly above the North Lincolnshire average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 62%. That five-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school 17th out of 51 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top third locally. The school’s ranking score of 67 also lands it in the top 50 nationally among similar schools, though it’s worth noting that the top three primaries in North Lincolnshire all score above 85, so there’s a clear gap to the very highest performers. Still, for a school where 40.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — these results suggest solid teaching and support. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for personal development, which hints at a real focus on character and wellbeing alongside academic work.
